By Chris Licata| Athlon Sports Verified Despite scoring 32 runs during a three-game span last week, the Milwaukee Brewers (8-8) couldn't make up any ground on the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs (11-7). They did, though, get some quality offensive contributions from two of their stars, outfielder Jackson Chourio and All-Star catcher William Contreras, who are beginning to heat up. Over his last six games, Contreras hit .391 (9-for-23) with three home runs, 10 RBIs, six runs scored and a pair of doubles.
By Chris Licata| Athlon Sports Verified The New York Mets won their sixth straight game on Tuesday night, a 10-5 victory over the NL East rival Miami Marlins. With the bases loaded for All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, Miami pulled its infield in. The decision came after back-to-back single and an intentional walk of Juan Soto to force a potential double play situation.
